| X4050 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} 13/KT. Sept. 22nd,1932. The Dunlop Rubber Co. Ltd, Fort Dunlop, Erdington, Birmingham. For the attention of Mr.Price. Dear Sirs, M.A.2. Type Tread Tyres. We have never had your recommendations as to which direction we should run the tread of these tyres. We presume you have made some experiments with regard to wear etc. and should be glad to have your remarks on this subject. We presume that the tyres will be run in the same direction as the old traction tread tyres, but observe that the M.A.2. treads, which you fitted to Mr. H.Royce's car, of this Company, were in the reverse direction. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
